"it never has.WD uses it today in it's latest technology 3TB drives.rather
aggressive head parking feature, if the drive is idle for 5 seconds,it parks
the heads.and there's no way to avoid this or alter the behavior,this
accounts for a LCC count of about 8k per 24 hour period on average use.which
means when you reach the LCC count of 300K, the drive is dead.
what a wonderfully stupid idea."
So those drives last an average of 37.5 days of use?
